Apropos Rupert Murdoch's remarks, here's Ani Ma'amin (I believe), the song that Jews have traditionally sung when they were being martyred (God forbid). This is from the person who posted the video:
this is a video memorial of the holocaust. i chose the song "ani ma'amin" (sung here by the miami boys choir) because this is the song death camp prisoners would often sing when walking into the gas chambers to die. the lyrics, from hebrew translated to english are:
"Ani ma'amin b'emunah shleimah beviat haMashiach, v'af al pi sheyitmameiha, im kol zeh achakeh lo b'chol yom sheyavo."
"I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah, and though he may tarry, nevertheless I await his coming every day."
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

When you go in where the candles are, you will cry.
